How Do You Defend This?
I’m not sure. Neither was the bloke it knocked out. Ouch.
Mulga Bill’s Cynical View of the Modern Age
Happy Australia Day! Just a point on your discussions about the best generation of horses. I agree this a vintage batch – it is also a vintage batch of PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). Given there is no real energy in keeping racing clean we may be seeing a very false set of good horses. If […]
Broken Dreams
Archie I hate to shatter your dreams, but as an English teacher I feel obliged to inform you that in order to do something again you have to have done it before. For instance, win a million dollars on the punt. You have to have won a million previously before you can do it again, […]
My Dream is to Win a Million on the Punt Again This Year – What’s Yours?
Poppy
If Popular Alm was the absolute champion that Keith from QLD and others insist he was, then how did he get beaten by Gammalite here? Poppy led and set the pace, and had every chance. He looked to have Gammalite covered on the turn. But looks can be deceiving when you’re up against a horse […]
Eye Keep Smiling

Life Wasn’t Meant to Be Easy – But Did it Have to be This Hard?
Since when had any horse run 25.8 seconds for the first quarter at Hobart and won?\ Like, never. Prove it if you think I am wrong. I have never seen it happen. Ever. It didn’t happen last night other. Truth is it that it was probably never going to either, because against my best advice […]

John Symons and Sheila Laxon had to fight like hell to get their circa half million dollar share of Knight’s Choice’s winning prizemoney for the Melbourne Cup, after RISA and/or Racing Victoria stuffed up and paid it to their old business partner, who trousered the cash. Fortunately for the blissfully happy couple they followed our […]
